Vogue Magazine: Asian Women Are Beautiful (Finally)

The December issue of American Vogue has a fashion story on a "new crop" of Asian models -- never mind that most of them have been around for several years -- who are, quoth the lady mag, "redefining traditional concepts of beauty."

Which raises the question, "traditional concepts of beauty" where, exactly? Because there are plenty of places in the world where, traditionally speaking, Asian women have long been considered beautiful. Like in, um, Asia, for example? Even in Western countries, Asian beauty, for lack of a more specific term, isn't a new concept (although, granted, sometimes, it's a creepy, fetishy one.)
